Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Fist of Fury is a move exclusive to the Forsaken Monkeys, a Ghost-type physical attack with a very unique effect.

He channeled the damage he had taken in the previous battle into a surge of rage, and unleashed a powerful punch.

The more damage you take previously, the higher the damage from Fist of Wrath will be.

In short, you become stronger by getting beaten up!

It looks similar to moves like [Endurance] or [Double the Return], but its actual limitations are much higher!

Legend has it that a Gym Leader-level Abandoned Monkey, in a fit of extreme rage, punched through the Iron Armor of a Champion-level Aggron!

The high potential of the Fist of Wrath is evident.

At this moment, the abandoned monkey, suffering from the pain of being burned by the flames, was filled with rage.

This punch is bound to be earth-shattering!

…………

The deep, dark power of anger was so thick it was almost tangible, like an inextinguishable karmic fire igniting his fists.

The abandoned monkey transformed its pain into endless rage, unleashing a powerful punch with chilling intent!

Xia Chen remained unmoved. "Again, get hard!"

The Fist of Wrath sounds impressive, but it's actually not that bad.

Even with high damage, it can still be countered by four times, resulting in a powerful attack with an actual strength of up to 400.

Even with its STAB boost and Stone Edge attack, it still couldn't break through the formidable defenses of the twice-hardened Burning Bug.

The heavy punch landed, but as expected, it was all bark and no bite. The burning worm was only knocked over and rolled a few times by the punch, and the actual damage it suffered was less than that from the previous attack with the sharp stone.

The Burning Bug looked up and calmly stared at the Abandoned Monkey. The look in its eyes, as if saying "Have you had enough?", was more infuriating than mere disdain or contempt.

The short-tempered sprite, Abandoned Monkey, couldn't stand it any longer. He raised his fist, ready to use violence to make Burning Worm take back that look, but his body inexplicably felt weak and powerless.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Several powerful attacks failed to achieve their intended effect, and the enormous energy consumed had left the Abandoned Monkey somewhat exhausted.

And this was the opportunity that Xia Chen and the Burning Insect had been waiting for!

"Burning Bug, Flame Charge!"

Although the evolved Volcarona is an absolute special agent and artillery turret, before evolving, Flamebull's physical attack ability was much better.

Therefore, Xia Chen will use this Flame Charge to sound the horn of counterattack.

Crimson flames covered its entire body, and driven by the raging fire energy, the Burning Insect charged forward fiercely!

Surrounded by barriers formed by vortexes of flame, the Abandoned Monkey had no choice but to grit its teeth and withstand the fiery charge.

boom--

The sound of flesh colliding violently was exceptionally clear. The body of the Abandoned Monkey was seen flying upside down under the impact of this brute force. After being scorched by the vortex of flames, it crashed heavily onto the battlefield.

And then, he could not rise again!

The Burning Worm's counterattack had only just begun when the Forsaken Monkey fell!

Korni looked at the abandoned monkey whose fur was almost permed into curls, her expression complicated.

She had initially thought that Xia Chen was looking down on her by using the Burning Worm in the battle, but now it seemed that she was the one who had been proven wrong.

She lowered her head, a bitter smile on her lips.

Is it possible that the Pokémon I've carefully nurtured for two years is inferior to the Pokémon Xia Chen has nurtured for half a year?

The stark contrast left Korni somewhat bewildered. What then did all her and the elves' efforts amount to?

…………

"Cornee, is this your resolve?"

Coco's voice suddenly rang out in the empty battlefield.

Korni looked up at her grandfather, whose expression was serious, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

But Kokobur did not soften his heart because of his granddaughter's grievances. He knew that in this situation, he had to do something drastic—

You need to scold her awake!

"What's with that expression? And what's with your eyes? Are you trying to defeat your opponent with tears?!"

The old man's cold, stern voice jolted Kerni awake like a thunderclap.

The little cucumber stubbornly sniffed, then raised its hand, lifted the Poké Ball, and recalled the defeated Monkey King, who had lost its ability to battle.

She patted her fair cheeks hard to encourage herself, and with a hint of a sob still lingering in her voice, she shouted, "Don't get too cocky! This is just the beginning! Lucario, prepare for battle!"

Lucario, standing behind her, lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped high into the air, and landed gracefully in front of Korrina.

Its handsome blue and black dog face was full of fighting spirit and determination to protect its trainer.

"Luca!"

Following the usual formula of anime, the protagonist, after being inspired, will trigger the power of their bond with their companions, dominating the battlefield and turning the tide of adversity.

Unfortunately, Korne was unable to do so.

Although she regained her fighting spirit and performed brilliantly, she successfully defeated the Burning Bug.

But in the end, the Great Demon King Xia Chen was a cut above the rest, sending out the Azure Flame Blade Ghost Ruthless to defeat Mega Lucario and the subsequent Wrestling Hawkman.

A score of 3-1 hardly qualifies as a respectable defeat.

However, Korne's attitude after this defeat was not bad; at least she didn't lose her little pearl.

When the Abandoned Monkey lost its fighting ability, Coco's measures were very effective. Little Cucumber felt ashamed and then became brave. His Dao heart was not broken, but became even more firm.

"One day, I will defeat you!"

After the competition, Korne made a bold statement.

Xia Chen wanted to pat her head to encourage her, but considering that he might be slapped hard in the face by Little Cucumber's beautiful and smooth platinum blonde ponytail, he didn't dare to do it.

After staying in Sala City for two days, Xia Chen hurriedly left.

It's not that this place is boring or anything like that; the main problem is that my journey isn't entirely pure. I also have the mission of finding the two legendary elves, Xerneas and Yveltal.

Although Tianxi didn't say it, her bright eyes revealed her anticipation and longing.

Before parting, Xia Chen inquired with Grandpa Coco about the whereabouts of the two, or whether there had been any unusual natural phenomena recently.

Unfortunately, the answer was no.

However, this answer wasn't entirely useless; at least... it contained the information that the X and Y gods were not near the city of Saluo.

Considering that Xernias liked to wander in the mountains and forests whenever he had nothing to do, Xia Chen decided to explore along the northwest-southeast mountain range.

After glancing at the map of the Carlos region, Xia Chen realized that if he continued traveling in this direction, the next stop would be—Biyi City.

Chapter 427 The Eternal Flower

May 30th, late spring to early summer.

Even in the Carlos region, which is geographically located at a higher latitude, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Because he was in search of Xerneas, it took Xia Chen two days to travel from Salo City to Biyi City, which was not too far away.

If you're specifically looking for speed, two days is enough time for Gu Leton to take Xia Chen around the world two or three times.

But the two gods are elusive; if they were so easy to find, the news would have spread across the internet long ago.

Fortunately, Xia Chen had plenty of time to travel around Carlos, three or four months, and Diancie wasn't in a particular hurry either.

Although Diancie and the little diamonds were worried about the disappearance of the Holy Diamond, the large diamond in the mining country was actually enough to last for at least three to five years.

She has more free time.

Xia Chen even felt that it didn't matter if he couldn't find Xerneas. With his own Xerneas's growth rate, he was guaranteed to become a powerful figure in three to five years.

Perhaps Xerneas will only be known as "Little Fairy Eevee" by then, and solving the problems plaguing the diamond mining nation will be a piece of cake.

Although the idea was somewhat far-fetched, Xia Chen only dared to think about it in his heart...

In short, Xia Chen arrived at the scenic city of Biyi at a leisurely pace.

"In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches." Who would have thought that this poem, which was passed down in the East a thousand years ago, would now become the place names of two cities in the Carlos region, one in the north and one in the south? How romantic!

Strolling along the clean and tidy streets of Biyi City, Xia Chen felt quite moved.

Two years ago, when he traveled to Carlos, he visited the town of Lianli in the south. This time, he made up for it by visiting Biyi City, which completes his trip.

Tianxi followed closely behind Xia Chen, avoiding the curious or burning gazes cast upon her by passersby, and asked in a low voice through telepathy, "What do these two lines of poetry mean?"

Ever since she tried swimming in the sea, something that used to seem meaningless to her, Tianxi has become increasingly lively. As soon as she arrived in Biyi City, she begged Xia Chen to take her shopping.

No one could resist the Diamond Princess's coquettish request.

Xia Chen readily agreed, and there was no need to worry about safety issues.

Nowadays, no villain should dare to covet the elves beside him.

Xia Chen turned to look at Diancie, whose face was full of "I'm very curious," and smiled, "These are the lines of poetry written by the great poet of Donghuang more than a thousand years ago for the tragic love story of the emperor and his concubine. It means that their love was so good that they were willing to be a pair of bluebirds flying wing to wing in the sky and a pair of flowers and leaves connected on the ground, never to be separated."

"How romantic..."

Diancie was a sentimental girl. After hearing this story, she gazed at the sky with longing and yearning, as if the lovebirds were flying by.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "However, I think it would be nice to write it as 'May we become tiny diamonds on earth.' Don't you humans see diamonds as a symbol of love, since they are eternal and unchanging?"

Xia Chen replied, "That's just a marketing lie, and it doesn't even rhyme."

Tianxi pouted, and the anticipation on her face vanished instantly.

"Humph!"

She suddenly quickened her pace, drifting forward half a body length ahead of Xia Chen.

Xia Chen: "......"

What's wrong with this guy? It's so weird.
